Cultural activities offered by the school

The old St. Petersburg is beautiful at any time of the year. In an effort to acquaint our students with this magnificent city, we offer rich cultural program, such as sight-seeing tours, theater visits (opera/ballet), theme excursions ( e. g. on Russian orthodoxy,economics), museums and galleries (e.g. the Hermitage), factory visits,shopping tours and excursions to the countryside and to the suburbs and other cities Moscow, Novgorod, Pskov. Students can look through the weekly program of events and choose the one which is more attractive in the office.
As a rule, our Study Excursions are in Russian adapted according to the participants' level of the language. But we also have the possibility to arrange excursions and lectures in German, French or English. Our excursions are, so called, study excursions, when a guide uses “adapted” Russian to help the students not only get some extra vocabulary knowledge, but also to practice there conversational skills. These excursions are arranged in the way that even a beginner will not waste the time but enlarge his Russian vocabulary. Study excursions are the part of the educational program and usually are devoted to different topics covered in classrooms. 
It is possible to join our “vetcherinkas” in our small country house (Datcha).   We are sure every person will enjoy staying in the native Russian countryside, spending a very nice time, having the experience of the original Russian bathouse accompanied by shashlik made on the open fire.Students can look through the weekly program of events and choose the one which is more attractive in the office.

The capital of Russia is Moscow. Moscow is an old city but it is also a young city. Moscow is one of the biggest and most beautiful cities of Europe with more than 850-years history. "The Heart of Russia", that's how Russians call the capital, is a unique combination of unforgettable features of an old Russian city and a modern European character. The city is situated on seven hills. On one of them is the Kremlin with its beautiful red walls and famous towers. The Kremlin is certainly the heart of Moscow. Everything here speaks of important facts in the life of our country. The prices for our week-ends tours are valid for course participants only
The "New Town" (as its name means in Russian) of Novgorod is anything but new: Dating back to the 9th century, this illustrious, lustrous city, three hours south of St. Petersburg, was once a creative center of the nation. In Imperial days, it was known as Novgorod The Great, and today, it still reveals its grand heritage in its cathedrals, museums, and classically Slavic architecture. Despite being overshadowed by the grand palaces and museums of St. Petersburg -- and in spite of the Nazi's attempts to destroy the city -- Novgorod still holds its own today. Visitors who travel to the city of 190,000 inhabitants are rewarded by its wealth of cultural attractions.
